I believe I know what you mean in C and D but they are ambiguous so not helping on them.

x%3E=6 for sqrt%28x-6%29


and

x%3C=2 for sqrt%282-x%29

Note: when an expression is under the square root, if the result need to be a real number it need to be greater than or equal to zero. If it doesn't need to be(can be complex technically), there's no restrictions.
When y and x are defined in all real numbers:
A: x%2B6%3E=6
x%3E=6
B: 2-x%3E=0
x%3C=2
C,D: none because any real number x gets a real outcome y.

When they're defined in complex set:
No restrictions at all. Any value gets a complex result.
